Ludwig Heinrich Ferdinand Olivier
Ludwig Heinrich Ferdinand Olivier , also Louis Ferdinand von Olivier , Ferdinand Olivier the Elder (* 1759 in La Sarraz , Canton of Vaud ; † March 31, 1815 in Vienna ) was a German educator of Swiss origin.
Life
In 1780 Olivier became a teacher at the Philanthropinum in Dessau, founded by Johann Bernhard Basedow in 1774 . In the 1790s he was the owner of his own institute and since 1801 has been traveling a lot to promote the new teaching method he had developed for learning to read and write. In 1804 he came to Leipzig, where he met Ernst Gotthelf Albrecht Tillich . Both decided to found a new educational and teaching institution in Dessau. At Easter 1805 the educational center in Dessau started operations. It was soon very successful and was given by Duke Leopold III. Friedrich Franz was generously sponsored. Olivier was responsible for elementary classes according to the method he developed and for French classes. Differences in character and some views , however, led to the separation, and Tillich took over the management alone.
Since July 21, 1782 he was married to the Dessau singer Louise Niedhardt (* April 25, 1753; † 1841?) And father of the painters Heinrich , Ferdinand and Friedrich Olivier. The Dessau music director Friedrich Wilhelm Rust was his brother-in-law.
Olivier came to Vienna in 1814 because his son Ferdinand fell ill, where he died at the end of March 1815. Prince Joseph II (Schwarzenberg) had the body transferred to Bohemia and buried near his Worlik castle .
